Speaking OF Saturday half holidays, one OF the
committee said: "a rule that would apply to the
large wholesale houses and the fine stores in New

apparent though there was a larger meeting or
dealers to-day than usual. The news from New

THE IRISH LAND BILL.
The Only Provision Of Value TO Ter

The Only Provision Of Value TO Ten.
ants Stricken Ont by the Lords.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, June 1.-THE house OF Lords has taken
out OF the Irish land bill the only provision OF the
least value to tenants viz, the provision author
iztng the court in bankruptcy proceedings TO fix
the sum In satisfaction OF the arrears
OF rent 4; also the rent to be paid for
the unexpired part OF the statutory term
which the thrifty industrious tenant may reason
ably be expected to pay. The courts Will now
have power only to adjudicate on arrears actually
existing. II a tenant requires further relief he
will have to make himself q bankrupt and again
make fresh application. This monstrous proposal
therefore Is the only relief which the bill gives.
The striking out OF the original provision was due
to the Irish landlords in the upper house. with Sal
iSbury'S consent. 1t therefore hardly be REIN
serted in the commons.
The debate on the crimes bill is expected to close
quietly. The Irish have taken counsel with the
opposition leaders and have decided that the best
policy, having in view the rather ttmfd attitude OF
section OF the Gladstonian party is TO allow the
bill to pass without dramatic protest. This is
wise, though IL has disappointed some OF the
more ardent spirits.
The Times believe, has reserved what 1t con-
S1derS its piece de resistance for final article on
"Parnelism and crime" This will be a long let
ter by Parnel on which the Times will seek TO es-
tabsh the guilty knowledge OF the Irish leader or
q part OF the Phoenix Park murders and or giving
more or less direct aid to the organizer.

case OF Jacob P. Angney, convicted OF an assault
and battery with intent to KILL and Of an assault
and battery. The questions involved were very
important, one being as to the sufrciency of the
indictment, and one as to the age OF the Juror
Fisher, to say nothing OF other questions. He had
some consultation with his colleagues on the
bench and as the motion could be certified to the
General Term and be there decided, he was at
present inclined to so certify the motion, and
would perhaps do so during the day, unless ad-
viSed to the contrary.
Later In the day Judge Montgomery certified the
motion to the General Term to be heard in the
first instance.
